Rental Inspection Fees Passed

Owners of rental properties in the city will have to pay an annual inspection fee and will be subject to fines if they don't maintain their homes and apartments in acceptable condition.
Under the program, which was approved by the City Council last week, apartment owners with 200 or more units will pay $36 per unit per year to have the exterior of their properties inspected by a code enforcement officer.

Apartment owners with 199 units or less will pay $48 per unit per year for the inspection.

Owners of single-family homes will be charged $95 per home per year.
